Biography

    Dr. Yu Chen is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the State University of New York – Binghamton. He received the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California (USC) in 2006 under the supervision of Professor Kai Hwang. His current research interest lies in Network Security, Distributed/Grid Computing, and Reconfigurable/Embedded Computer Architectures. Particularly, his work covers security in networks and large distributed/Grid computing systems; Internet security protocols; infrastructure security; trust, security and privacy in wireless, embedded and pervasive computing. He has authored or coauthored more than 30 scientific papers in refereed journals, conferences, and book chapters. He is a member of ACM, IEEE and SPIE.

    Before join Professor Hwang's group, he was working as the research assistant in the Advanced Interconnection and Network Technology Lab led by Professor Anthony F. J. Levi. His research was relating to High Performance Parallel Computing, Parallel Algorithm and Clustering Computing for Nano-scale Photonic Material and Nano Structures Design and Simulation.
